Easiest Class to play for pvp?

Post by jackalof73

Hi all, I just wanted to get peoples opinions on what the easiest class to play in pvp is? Why I am mainly asking is that I am to the point were I am getting bored with wow. I think mainly because I don't pvp since I am somewhat terrible at it. I am wanting to see if I can get into pvp because I think pvp is random/exciting enough to keep me involved.

FYI...I am not that coordinated with my fingers so I can't use a bunch of macros because I always end up hitting the wrong thing.(if that helps with what class not to play)

Thanks in advance.

Play the class you like. Tbh all you want to do is pick the FOTM class am I right? You want to faceroll people? In this patch it would be Retardin, Huntard or Ale. In next patch? Dunno really. FOTM classes change all the time but Huntard is always at the top.

Not really Tush, FOTM doesn't always mean it's the easiest. I am not wanting something that facerolls everything. I just want something that I can do some dmg without being cannon fodder for the opposing team.

For instance when I try to pvp with my monk I am so useless because I spend more time trying to run around hitting ppl then actually helping my team.

If it helps I solo pvp so I can't play like a warrior who needs a pocket healer to be effective (otherwise I would use my war)........IDK maybe I will just quit wow at this point.

No class is as easy as people like Tush like to believe. Every class has its challenges and skill curve. You don't see anybody getting Gladiator or Duelist titals by picking a class that's just that easy. They achieve what they do be application of skill, and every class requires that -- simply in different ways.

If you want a class that follows the paradigm of being able to focus more on applying situational awareness and foregoes the complex micromanagement required for a lot of classes -- so that you can just play and apply your skill in a more freeform way -- try a Feral Druid. They require minimal management and ordering of things like buffs and procs, but at the same time offer you a very nice toolkit to dominate things. Their rotation is fairly forgiving, giving you some room to make mistakes, and ample room to learn. Yet their toolkit lends itself to a wide use-case, giving you a nice skill curve to progress your talent at a reasonable pace, if your goal is to become a truly great PvPer.

They play somewhat like classic melee, yet with strong defenses, good self-heals, and insanely good mobility. You rarely -- if ever -- feel trapped or feel like you can't achieve what you want to because of contrained movement or minimal defense. Yet they can still unleash very impressive burst. They can nuke somebody down quick at need, self-heal and pop a plethora of defensive CDs to stay alive in tight spots, and even kite or escape very well when they just need to get away.

They make great almost anything for BGs. Whether you want to play offensively or defensively; whether you want to provide great flag-carrying, or focus on keeping the enemies down in mid-battle, you can play a decently wide set of roles. With Heart of the Wild, you can switch to being a great offhealer at need. And you can always respec to Boomkin or Resto if you want a change of pace from melee.

Edit: I just stumbled across this very good Feral PvP guide. You can skim it as a reference to get an idea of what Ferals do in PvP, and keep it bookmarked for later on when you're 90 and need a reference. IMO it's the best guide for Feral PvP out there.

Thanks Neffi, I always thought druids would be hard to play because of the many things they can do. But I will give it a go.

And no my objective is not to be some gladiator or w/e as my skill is not that great. I just want to pvp to keep me interested in playing without ...as you say- nerdrage quitting because I am visiting the graveyard every 30 seconds. Only time I ever did descent in pvp is back in Vanilla days with world pvp on my war/shaman and during the intro arena days in BC with my Rogue.

That's a mage macro.

As a feral, I wish more mages used that. Because then they'd be easy as #$%^ to rip apart.

On the aside, the guy wants a serious thread. Take your trolling elsewhere.

But Tush has a point about Huntards (BM Hunter). Huntards are maybe the easiest class/spec to master. It is very simple class/spec.

That's a steaming load of bull!@#$.

Okay Flash you are partially right. I played mostly as a BM Hunter and so I understand the class and spec very well. Hunters are easy to play as support and when you have plenty of heals on you. Now hunters are REALLY hard to play if you are using them effectively and taking on the big guys which means no healers, so constant kiting, disengage, cloak, feign death, traps, the whole shabang PLUS dealing effective damage. Then if you can do that they are really hard to play.

That might be true about mm hunters or survival, but nowadays it's all about popping your cd's send that pet in and faceroll the other team. Everyone can distract / trap
